Why rural voters don’t vote Democratic anymore

[Bob Butler 54]

That's about the best post-mortem of the recent election that I've seen.  It was written by a Democratic representative from a rural area.  He spends a lot of ink on gerrymandering, but thinks Democrats should pay more attention to farming policy, not force urban values on rural folk, and requiring health care buys that folks just can't afford is a problem.

Worth a read.
